It is my (admittedly vague) understanding that in my archive-dir (
$HOME/.cache ) for me, there are copies of signature files and
information for the Duplicity backups. Further, there seem to be
some (if not all) that are host-specific.
That is, while I was testing, I used the IP Address as my target,
backup-server. Then I used a host-name. When I switched between
the two, duplicity seems to have had a much longer run and was
refreshing its local cache or something like that.
So I have a few questions about this:
1) Is my understanding correct? Is duplicity storing backup
information in host-specific sub-directories and now I will have
directories that will never be referenced again, because I switched
to using a different URL (for the exact same target host)?
IIF my understanding is correct in #1:
2) Can we find a better way to identify hosts so that we don't
duplicate these cache files just because the name or url changed for
the exact same host???
3) Is there a supported (or unsupported, but safe) way to clean-up
the directories that pertain to the hostnames I'll never refer to
again in the URLs, but actually DO contain my backups? Or maybe I
can rename them so they match my latest hostname/URL?
Look at --name for solution, and also for description why & how you
end-up with two copies of signature & manifest files.
